The Appeal

The BMW 635 CSi is one of BMW's most iconic grand tourers of the late 1970s and 1980s, combining elegant 'shark-nose' styling with brisk performance and enviable build quality.

This 1979 example stands out for its desirable Getrag manual transmission, which was fitted to relatively few models and offers a more engaging driving experience than the more common automatic.

As an Italian-registered example with the prestigious ASI Targa Oro (Gold Plate) classification, this 635 CSi has been recognised for its historical significance and preservation quality. With recent maintenance, this classic BMW represents an opportunity to own a well-preserved piece of German engineering excellence.
